Re: [Plplot-general] embedding plplot in a wxpython app

[Brian D'U. <du...@gm...>]

Werner,

Thank you for your suggestion. I started off porting something like
wxPLplotstream.cpp to python, as you suggested. I had some quick
success with it so I am now working on a python class more like
wxPLplotwindow.cpp. It all seems to be working well, and I can even
use multiple streams to handle multiple plots simultaneously. Once I
get it in decent shape I will post it here.

I did need to make a couple of changes to plplotcapi.i so swig would
wrap pl_cmd() and PLESC_DEVINIT, since there were not part of the
bindings. Is there a chance that these could be exposed in the python
bindings in the next release of plplot? I saw some problem with the
void* in pl_cmd() while trying to recompile all the bindings, but it
is OK with python. I don't know enough about swig or the other
languages to fix the problem there.

I don't have a quantitative comparison yet, but it looks like plplot
is quite fast compared to the other options I have found for wxPython.

Thanks again,
Brian
